Davide Santon (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Might have been average but he still set one up.

could have been crap and set one up. surely it's how he plays overall ?

 

I'd take him getting an assist every game as being 'attacking average'. You said it, not me.

jeez dave i doubt it. he was defenensivly very poor today and could have cost us more.

What did he do that contributed to him being 'very poor' defensively?

caught out of position loads, even when he knew that position was getting targeted.

 

I don't have a great issue with that if it's due to coming back from an attack, as has been mentioned it's the responsibility of others to slot in for him too - that's something we have to work on as a team. Thought he generally mopped things up fairly well, especially in the first half. Wasn't amazing or anything but certainly don't think he was very poor either.

i differ. for me  it wasn't often when he'd been attacking (as in their third, more so not getting back from the middle third)

 

also it's not a general thing, just today.

defensivly poor today, attacking average.

 

would put haidara in next week. not because of todays performance but we could do with a more solid , more orthodox full back in this sort of game.

 

Agreed.  Every game I watch him recently I come away with him being not defensively being good.

 

Individually he's actually very good defensively, i don't see many attackers wreck him 1 v 1 its positional sense and knowing when to go forward and when not to he has troubles with.

 

Anyway i don't think he was that bad ( apart from the 2nd goal) he was ok in both departments but ok isn't really good enough to me especially if Haidara keeps getting chances and keeps impressing.

He's absolutely knackered, like. It's been clear for over a month despite him putting a couple of excellent performances in recently. He had no problems at all defensively in the first three months of the season (when he was more or less our best player coincidentally).

Would love to see him on the wing someday. Bale was always an average looking full back. Then he played a few games on the wing and boom worth 30mil  :cheesy:  Okay santon might not get that good but still i reckon he can be a good winger  :D Same size , same speed and acceleration , powerful shot too, why not ?

Santon was almost walking back watching their break. I like him a lot but stuff like that isn't good enough. If he is physically fucked then I can't really blame him though and he has played a lot this season.

He has to be mentally tired as that was his 1st game in 2 weeks, no excuse for that tbh.

Aye, not a fan of that, needs to be making more of an effort to get back into position faster than that.
